Welcome to Fun Word Friday!
Here are some of our favorite words from this week:
Profligate: Completely given up to dissipation and licentiousness, wildly extravagant. “Those people are essentially the victims of the really profligate use of fossil fuels by the industrialized North.”
Muntjac: A small deer of southeastern Asia and England
Tmesis: To break one word with another. For example: disbloomin’-graceful, un-flippin’-believable.
Kapok: A mass of silky fibers that invest the seeds of the ceiba tree and are used especially as a filling for mattresses, life preservers, and sleeping bags and as insulation.
Bargello: A needlework stitch that produces a zigzag pattern.
